Cottage Chunky Tomato Bisque Recipe

In a pot, melt butter. Add onion and saut until soft. Add paprika, garlic powder and cream cheese. Cook until melted on low/med heat. Transfer to double boiler or crock pot (I skip this and just make it in a non-stick pot). Mix tomatoes and fresh basil in blender. Add to cream cheese mixture with milk, tomato soup, vegetable flakes, onion flakes, salt and pepper. Cook slowly about 1 hour and DO NOT LET IT BOIL. ENJOY!!
